Chapter 12: The Mission Reappears
[Translation By Divinity]
The room was silent, except for Dong Jianren, whose eyes were glued to the sleeping girl.
In the bright light of the room, Dong Jianren finally got a clear look at the girl’s face. She was much cleaner and more beautiful than when he first saw her. Her features were delicate and lively, like rouge. Her jet-black hair cascaded messily around her face. Her long eyelashes were damp, like pebbles soaked in a stream for years, washed clean and pure, adding a touch of tenderness to her already stunning beauty.
Looking at the girl in white, Dong Jianren couldn’t help but sigh.
“Such a good girl. She shouldn’t have suffered like that.”
Just as Dong Jianren was lamenting the girl’s fate, she turned over. Whether it was because her skirt was too short or her movement was too big, her fair thighs flashed before Dong Jianren’s eyes, making him dizzy.
Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Dong Jianren felt a wave of heat wash over him.
“Don’t look at what you shouldn’t! Don’t look at what you shouldn’t!” He chanted repeatedly, but his body, honest as ever, leaned closer.
Sitting beside the girl, Dong Jianren’s eyes were glued to her smooth thighs. His trembling hand reached out and gently touched them. The silky sensation sent shivers down his spine.
Looking at the curled edge of her skirt, Dong Jianren’s hand moved uncontrollably, slowly lifting it.
“Pfft!”
A nosebleed spurted out.
“Damn it! A flat tire!”
With that glance, Dong Jianren felt his blood boil. The primal urge within him couldn’t be suppressed.
Just as he was about to lose control, a burning sensation came from his lower body.
The heat was so intense that Dong Jianren felt like he was being scorched. In a panic, he pulled out the culprit that had almost burned him.
It wasn’t his little Dong Jianren, but his mobile phone.
He watched as the phone on the bed flashed red, a sense of déjà vu washing over him. As if to confirm his suspicions, the phone screen flickered, finally settling on his live stream page, much to his despair.
[Requirement: Go to the Third Hospital before 10 p.m. tomorrow. Failure to arrive on time will be considered a mission failure. Penalty: Obliteration!]
[Main Quest 1: Find the missing patient. Quest completion reward: 500 exchange points! Mission failure: Obliteration!]
[Main Quest 2: Escape from the Third Hospital! Quest completion reward: 1000 exchange points! Mission failure: Obliteration!]
Dong Jianren’s heart sank. It had been nine days since his last mission. He thought the nightmarish tasks wouldn’t reappear, but after nine days, they had once again disrupted his peaceful life.
The once enthusiastic Dong Jianren now deflated like a punctured balloon, slumped on the bed.
As a native of Shancheng, Dong Jianren was no stranger to the Third Hospital. It was a hospital specializing in the confinement of mental patients. Many years ago, a mysterious fire caused the hospital to go bankrupt.
Currently, the hospital relies on government funding to barely keep running, and only a few patients who have no family to claim them remain there.
Leaving aside the first task, the second task has no time limit. The mere phrase “escape from the Third Hospital” and the 1000 exchange point reward hint at its high level of danger.
“Oh my god! This is a disaster!”
Looking at his left shoulder, still wrapped in a cast, Dong Jianren’s eyes were filled with despair.
With bloodshot eyes, Dong Jianren sat in a daze all night, finally greeting the first rays of sunlight the next day.
A soft moan awakened Dong Jianren from his sleepless night of fruitless pondering. The girl in white stretched and sat up beside him.
The sunlight shone through her white dress, revealing her curves.
Dong Jianren couldn’t help but stare.
When he came to his senses, he found a sweet face close to his, and he instinctively recoiled.
“You, you, what are you doing?”
The girl looked at Dong Jianren innocently, then gently patted her stomach.
Seeing her gesture, Dong Jianren realized she was hungry and quickly jumped out of bed to find her some food.
But to his embarrassment, there was nothing edible in his house. The rice jar was so empty that mice could run around in it.
He stood up and, regardless of whether the girl could understand, told her to wait and rushed out to buy food.
Soon, Dong Jianren returned home with two large boxes of steaming hot wontons. Seeing the girl still sitting there like a doll, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While devouring the wontons with their thin skin and generous filling, he observed the girl in white eating slowly and couldn’t help but sigh.
“What’s your name?”
The girl heard Dong Jianren’s question, but her eyes remained blank. Dong Jianren then remembered that the girl not only couldn’t speak but was also not mentally sound.
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter what your name is. I probably won’t survive tomorrow night anyway.”
He then took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out 50, and handed them to the girl.
“I don’t know if you can understand, but consider this our fate. Take these 5,000 yuan. Go back to where you came from. Leave after you finish eating.”
Then, without even locking the door, he walked out of the house. Looking back at the girl still sitting on the bed eating wontons, Dong Jianren couldn’t quite understand his own feelings.
